Before Use Checklist

Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before starting the engine or operating the
equipment. All procedures described are generic in nature and slight variations between different

models may exist.

Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in

making the product warranty void

. • The saw chain cutters are very sharp – wear suitable protective

gloves when handling the saw chain.

Assembly

Typically, the equipment requires minimal assembly, however, the
requirements for assembly may vary between models. Prior to
assembly, unpack all components and check that all items have been
received.

The adjacent image shows a typical chainsaw after unpacking,
including chainsaw body, chain bar, saw chain, log spike, vibration
dampener, fuel bottle, chain sheath, tools and fasteners.

1. Remove the chain drive cover (

A

) nuts (

B

), then pull the chain

drive cover from the chainsaw body. If the cover is difficult to
remove, the chain brake may be engaged

– disengage the chain

brake by pulling the chain brake handle (

AA

) back towards the

machine body.

The chainsaw may come supplied with plastic spacers
(

BB

) underneath the chain drive cover and over or

around the chain drive cover studs (

CC

)

– these spacers are for

shipping purposes only and must be discarded before mounting
the chain bar. After removing the chain drive cover, remove and
discard any spacers, then mount the chain bar and saw chain
as described.

Failure to remove any spacers before

assembling and using the chainsaw may present an injury
hazard and/or damage the machine, and will void product
warranty
